Sam-Baby Cheezits

The twins and I were walking around the block this past weekend enjoying the weather and checking out all the Christmas decorations.At every house they asked if they could run up and look at the decorations or touch them and hug them.I usually let them, except at the houses that have the inflatable decorations because they like to push and jump on those.

So anyway, we passed a house with a plastic nativity.The kids started yelling something that sounded like “baby cheezits”, but I quickly realized they were screaming “baby Jesus”.They wanted to run up and see the mini-nativity, so I let them.

They are both huggers so the first thing they did was hug Mary and Joseph…or “the mommy and the daddy” as they called them.Then they had to pet the three “cows” which were actually a cow, a donkey and a lamb.

The most fun came with baby cheezits.First he got some kisses.Then he got some head strokes.Then it was time to rearrange the nativity scene.They though it was more important to have cheezits out in front of the whole scene, so they picked him up and put him in front of all the animals.

In part I was happy with their enthusiasm, but I had to explain to them how they needed to leave the baby where he was so that his mommy and daddy could keep an eye on him.For three year olds this made sense and back baby cheezits went to the middle of the scene.The tough part was that we had to pass three more baby cheezits displays and at each one they wanted to do the same thing.
